Here are pictures of three teenagers accused in the thrill-kill murder of a college baseball player in Oklahoma.
The senseless slaying of Christopher Lane, 23, has sent shock waves from the Sooner State to the victims native Australia.
They followed him, shot him in the back and drove off, Duncan, Okla., police chief Danny Ford said yesterday.
When asked why he [a 17-year-old suspect] did it, he said, We were bored and decided to kill somebody.
The suspects have been identified as as Chancey Luna, 16, James Edwards, 15, and Michael Jones, 17.
Lane died Friday afternoon after he was shot in the back on Country Club Road just south of Twilight Beach Drive in Duncan, Ford said. He was pronounced dead an hour later.

You were wrong.
They wanted you to think it was one white and two black to distract from the racial aspects. Except for drugs. I don’t think white and black kids mix much anymore. In the 70s we all hung out together. But that was when we had hope.
The victim doesn't look like Obama's son Trayvon, so who cares?
America has a serious problem with black people.
The elephant in the corner.
Ya suppose there will be a day of outrage?
I heard it was two blacks and one white that did it.
Interesting. The one in the middle doesn’t look white to me.
So if a white person was involved, that makes it a “less heinous” crime of “Murder” rather than the “far more egregious” “Murder+Hate” Crime?
I detest the entire “Hate Crime” concept, but it is galling to see it selectively applied (or not) by the media.
I used to “think” I liked Australia but now pretty much over the aussies. Some tough folks but they’ve been “socialized”. Unlike us heathens here in the US.
Planned, indiscriminate, anonymous, remorseless murder.
This is Lord of the Flies type stuff, folks.
America was for a couple centuries seen as a good place, and respected worldwide. Much more of this kind of thing, and the rest of the world will start seeing us as an evil place.
The ghosts of Sodom and Gomorrah are probably out there whispering “Hey! What’s up with dat???”
I sincerely grieve for my country.
Rev. Al is going to state that how dare this white ball player bore these guys. It was self defense.
Sure glad they shot him because they were bored, and not because he was white. You can fix boredom by spending several more millions of $ on basketball courts or giving them ‘rap’ music DJ lessons.
But you can’t fix the vicitim’s ‘whiteness’.
I wonder how boring it is in prison? Or, should I say, in the juvy home, because these are mere ‘children’ whose youthful innocence keeps them from understanding that what they did was wrong, doncha know?
They’re very sorry, now that they got caught.
C’mon, they’re just kids. Let’s make some excuses for them.
Our country is seriously ill, and I fear for Her future.
Public Hangings...
I second that, put it on Saturday night prime time.
I lived in OK for 7 years. Okies are not typically like these young vermin.
A Duncan jury will have no problem dealing with this case appropriately.
Yes, Obozo’s useful idiot children feeling empowered and having no fear of punishment. That too will change.
Death penalty and to hell with their age. This is a war that some of the blacks think is justified. This may be a war they will regret. America has offered them much to live for in spite of the past.
When we were young and told our mom we were bored, she put us to work. Guess that’s pretty old-fashioned. Now parents give kids guns and tell them to go kill somebody.
I went to the site, is there any available comments section? I couldn’t find any.....
Plus they handed over their guns a few years ago without so much as a whimper! Makes me wonder if the Aussies can fold that easy, what will happen here when push comes to shove.
Big brown-nosin' deal, I missed that one and fortunately Don-o posted this one.......
Get a life......
Our local news (SC) reported the story but left out any description of the killers. I pointed it out to them on FB.
I'M SHOCKED
